'Mailer' ROCKS!!!

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2003)

I say this: IF you HAVE to do a zombie movie, THIS is IT! Nevertheless, I'm not really a fan of the genre... I like 'Resident Evil' and I think '28 Days Later' is even better. What's more, this movie actually has a story... a plot. I'm not sure I've seen too many plots in zombie films (other than R.E. of course); but this one is really entertaining to watch. btw, liked all the 'digital deletions' of life... GREAT effect.
I don't know if I was more fearful of the zombies or the 'human' (major quotations!!!) soldiers. It was a point well taken, shedding a light on the darker side of humanity in the face of anarchy.
The performances were quite well done, too. It's nice to see lesser known talent make a thrust into mainstream, drab films of late. Both females did a great job, portraying women who aren't so nausiatingly helpless and screamy; while still not coming off as being 'butch' either.
You don't have to like this genre to enjoy this film. It has a lot on it's plate and it ALL get's gobbled up. (Get the DVD for some GREAT insights and alternate endings, too) -the gift that keeps giving.
8/10 thank you
